Hi Mont,

does binding to LDAP://rootDSE <ldap://rootDSE/> do what you want?

I don't have 2 domains to test it on, but this seems to suggest it might
work:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms677945(VS.85).aspx

"In this case, a default domain controller from the domain that the security
context of the calling thread is in will be used. If a domain controller
cannot be accessed within the site, the first domain controller that can be
found will be used"

the defaultNamingContext should tell you the domain distinguished name (what
I think you mean by long name) and the serverName property should give you
the name of the server
